Love excellent coffee but don’t want your cravings to burn a hole in your wallet? We feel you. Since ready-made (and quite overpriced) drinks from cafes have become less accessible, many coffee enthusiasts have resorted to sourcing beans and grounds for their own homes.

If you’re one who’s currently in the market for high-quality beans and grounds that can jumpstart a little coffee nook at home, here’s one resource that won’t break the bank!

Coffee Buddy is an online shop that offers local coffee beans at an affordable price. Don’t worry, the prices don’t affect the quality of the beans at all.

Tin Sampang, one of the co-founders of Coffee Buddy, shares with WhenInManila.com the beginnings of this startup. Tin and her partner share an immense love for coffee, and they loved the adventure of tasting unique coffee blends from various places as they traveled. This love for coffee pushed them to set aside their Christmas bonuses as a capital for their business. That leap of faith and intense passion for their product gave birth to Coffee Buddy.

Coffee Buddy takes pride in their locally harvested and roasted Philippine coffee. They’ve got beans and grounds from Sagada, Kalinga, and Benguet.

If you enjoy your coffee with a little more flavor, they also have variants such as hazelnut, vanilla, and macadamia, to name a few.

Coffee Buddy is so aptly named because they also take pride in being an actual “coffee buddy” in the sense that customers can always reach out through their Facebook page to ask questions about coffee and the different brewing methods available. They even have coffee equipment for sale, such as a manual coffee grinder and a french press.

Looking for a quick way to brew delicious local coffee? They also offer drip packs!

There’s really something for everybody with Coffee Buddy. They’re super accessible, too. With coffee beans and grounds starting at PHP 120, and deliveries reaching locations all over the country, anyone can enjoy the high-quality coffee that the Philippines has to offer.
